Description

This is a racing car model kit assembled from parts made of resin, white metal, photo-etched metal and possibly other materials.

Here's what Model Factory Hiro has to say about this outstanding new offering:

In the mid-1970s, N.A.R.T. decided to enter Ferrari roadcars, namely the 365GT4/BB and 512BB, into various races such as Le Mans and Daytona, believing the cars had the potential to perform just as well as a race sportscar after some race modifications. However with minimal success, Ferrari decided that instead they would build a car specifically for the purposes of racing in Le Mans. Using the 512BB as a base, the 512BB LM was developed and made its first appearance on the circuit in 1979.

Featuring a 180-degree V12 engine, the 512BB LM separates itself further from its base 512BB with a completely redesigned body done by Pininfarina for the purpose of making it race worthy. The first 512BB LM built were entered into Le Mans between the periods of 1979-1980. In the early 1980s it continued to see action on the tracks through modified versions done by privateers, and a late version that featured a slightly different body.

Based off the design of its debut in 1979, Model Factory Hiro presents their newest MFH 1/12 Full Detail Kit, the 512BB LM! This full-detailed, multi-material kit features white metal, resin, etching, chromed and vacuum parts, rubber tires, decals, and various cords allowing for maximum representation of the original vehicle. Aluminum chromed parts are used for wheel rims, wheel nuts, main front light rims, engine funnels, muffler ends and gas tank cover. The front cowl of the car is designed to be removable, and doors and rear cowl can be opened and closed, allowing full view of the detailed interior after completion . Clear resin is used for headlight lenses, allowing for the mold to closely imitate those of the actual vehicle. Pre-printed sponsor logos are featured on rear grill etching parts.

This version of the kit is K533 Ver. D: 1980 LM Scuderia Bellancauto #79, based on the Bellancauto team entry in 1980. Various differences between the versions have been faithfully reproduced, such as the louvre on the front cowl, shape of the side ducts, shape of the nose, mirror, etc. Differences to the wheel design in kit versions A and B have also been recreated.
